Production data from USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service surveys.
The this entity record above pulls directly from the USDA NASS Quick Stats database. What follows is the per-entity context — how this entity sits in the broader U.S. crop production, acreage, and farm income distribution and which underlying factors drive the headline numbers.
The methodology behind every numeric value on this page is publicly documented on the the USDA NASS Quick Stats database portal and described in detail on this site’s methodology page. Refresh cadence varies by underlying series; the page surfaces the as-of date for each number so readers can trace any figure back to the source release.
Practical use of this page is in combination with the comparison and ranking pages elsewhere on the site, which surface the same data for this entity’s peers within U.S. crops and states. A single-entity reading without peer context can be misleading when an entity is an outlier on one axis but typical on another.
